This is wierd. I had a few 301 redirects to the homepage which I deleted. It still got the same redirect loop. I have a home menu item that goes to the "domain.com/" So then I changed my homepage SEF URL for that Menu ITEM 1 to be domain.com/home and turned on the "Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF" option and now the redirect loop is gone. The homepage loads fine.

The second part of the problem still remains though. My custom URLs that are non SEF don't get redirected to their SEF URL in JoomSEF.

Is there a procedure for generating new URLs that will be redirected when you set "Disable creation of new SEF URLs?" to "Yes"?

I have been going in to the Manage SEF URLS, clicking NEW and adding the NON-SEF URL and then putting an SEF url for it. Do I have to have a menu item associated with it?

Thanks,
Emmanuel

Hi, thanks for your response.

It does not show the "domain.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=1" in the URL, just "domain.com/"

With the "Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF" option disabled, my urls work because I have imported them from ACEsef. For my homepage, it shows domain.com/ with no index.php... and it works without redirect loop error.

But for new articles I add, I have generate new SEF urls turned off so when I go in and manually generate a url, joomla only uses the non-sef URL.

When I turn "Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF" on, JoomSEF redirects properly to the SEF URL, but my homepage gets stuck in a redirect loop.

Is there something wrong with the homepage URL when I have "Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF" turned on, that would cause this problem? I did not have this issue when I first installed JoomSEF before I imported ACEsef URLs into JoomSEF but there is only one homepage URL in JoomSEF, so I don't know where the redirect loop would be coming from.

Thanks,
Emmanuel

I am not sure if it is the same problem I am having because I don't get an error message, just a notice that I have an infinite loop on my homepage. If I turn off this feature in the advanced settings of JoomSEF, my homepage starts working... Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF: No

The "Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF" option in configuration causes a redirect loop for my homepage.

This is my homepage URL in JoomSEF: "index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=1"
SEF Field is blank.

How can I resolve this so that my homepage works with this setting turned on?

I am running Joomla 1.5.26 with JoomSEF 3.10.0

Thanks in advance.

If I buy the JoomSEF will you support this and help get it working or is this just not possible?

Hi,

We are using JSEBLOG CCK for our Joomla 1.5 installation and we are trying to get our section/category/subcategories/article paths to be recognized by JoomSEF. It seems that it doesn't work with the articles. Is there somehting I am doing wrong, or is this something that I could adjust in the plugin that would fix?

For example:

Publications > Issues > Volume 16 Edition 5 >

Should generate the path:
/publications/issues/16_05/

But it is instead shortend to
/publications/16_05

With JoomSEF Turned off it works, but not with it turned on.
Can anyone help with this?

I tried editing the extension for jSeBlod, but nothing seems to work.
